The IRA never expected women and children to be near shopping centres?

No because the IRA generally called in warnings. In both the 90s Manchester bombings there, people had 75-90 minutes to evacuate, they moved ~80,000 people each time and saw no fatalities. The warning for Warrington wasn't as effective.

Terror was the aim, not death.
